Although all eQTL studies so far have measured mRNA levels using microarrays, recent advances in RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) enable the analysis of transcript variation at unprecedented resolution. The reads produced by RNA-Seq are first mapped to the genome and/or to the reference transcripts. Then, the output of RNA-Seq can be summarized by a sequence of 'counts'. That is, for each position in the genome or on a putative transcript, it gives a count standing for the number of reads whose mapping starts at that position. Quantitative inference of RNA-Seq data, such as calculating gene expression levels and isoform expression levels, is based on these counts. To utilize the data efficiently, it is crucial to have an appropriate statistical model for these counts. In this talk, we present some nonparametric models in analyzing the RNA-seq data of nine cell lines. We will also discuss its potential utility in eQTL mapping studies. ---- Back to the [[http://www.ibc-floripa-2010.org|IBC 2010 page]]
